Re: Hydraulic roller lifters for Pontiac... Hydraulic Cartridge Technology
I was going to go with the usual Morel 5884 and grind a slot for full time oiling to the band, and then my customer tells me he wants to run a set of Comp 85701-16 lifters with this new HCT technology. Can anyone please enlighten me here as to what this HCT is all about? I would use what that custo...

Re: Ford Cleveland NASCAR cylinder heads
I understand that during the 1990s Junior Johnson was involved in the development of a set of cylinder heads for the Cleveland engine for NASCAR application. They were unusual in that they featured straight inlet ports with the pushrods going through them (in somewhat analogous fashion to the famou...
